BILL NUMBER:S4093 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to qualified trusts and qualified reserve credits; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE: This bill would allow the acquisition and management of investments by financial guaranty insurance corporations through certain dedicated trusts. It would make it clear that the financial guaranty insurance corporation may carry the net equity of such a trust as an asset on its statutory balance sheet. It would also allow the net value of a qualified trust to be counted among the specific assets that financial guaranty insurance corporations must maintain with respect to unearned premium reserves, loss reserves and loss adjustment expense reserves and that certain dedicated cash flows from the trust may be counted against contingency reserves. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill allows qualified reserve credits to reduce the aggregate net liability of a financial guaranty insurance corporation when determining the limits of the aggregate risk that it may assume.
